I was thinking this exact same thing. If there's so big disaster that kills off people, I don't know why the show didn't use that opportunity to kill off Austin (while Carrie was with Rafe?) which would then cause Carrie immense guilt (throwing up another roadblock to Cafe). Meanwhile, Carrie is still pregnant with Austin's child which draws Kate in as the baby's grandmother who also partly blames Carrie for Austin's death and makes her determined to keep Rafe/Carrie apart while also proving that Carrie is unfit to raise her grandchild, then putting Kate in direct opposition to Marlena...

See. This fucking shit just writes itself.
Quoted for the truth! :hail:

DAYS really is going to need a new female in the Sami/Nicole age bracket....it warps my mind why Christie Clark was fired, she is EXACTLY what we need in that group right now.

Exactly, why is IT that the fans can see the potential, but TPTB just don't see it, its almost like "how the hell could they NOT see it"....

What I don't understand is this shows CONSTANT need to fire Christie and Matt when things hit the shitter. They are ALWAYS the fall guys on this show.

Thank you!!! Seriously, how hard is this shit? Fans can come up with decent stories in just a few minutes that play off historical relationships, create dramatic tension and drive character development. Why can't the writers?!?!

What will really make this great is if Greg Vaughan does all his scenes shirtless ^_^

I hope Eric is still a photographer. I'm sick of everyone being a cop, a businessman or working at the pub.

I'm worried about that too. They never really show anyone working anyway so just make him a photographer. At least that could lead to some sexy scenes (which this show severely lacks more than any show). I have a fear that they're going to make him a cop because Greg Vaughan played one on General Hospital. Hopefully they will be more creative than that.

Eric was a photographer for Countess Wilhelmina back in the day, so he could do that job again when he returns to Salem. DAYS could come up with a way for Nicole to get involved with CW (as a part owner, business executive, model, etc.), and that would provide an organic way for Eric and Nicole to reconnect.

Actually, it'd be great if Eric returned with a girlfriend, since DAYS is seriously lacking in 30-something women. (I still think that Lucas's fiancee should've come with him to Salem.) My dream would be for Eric to arrive in town with Sarah Horton. Then DAYS could do a love polygon with Eric, Sarah, and whoever else, and Sarah would also meld nicely into the Maggie/Victor storyline. And if Tomsell are putting more emphasis on the Kiriakis family, then Sarah could eventually be paired with one of Sonny's brothers or Philip Kiriakis.

DAYS has unlimited potential characters in the 20-35 years old age range that are actually well connected to the canvas but we get Chad, Gabi, Melanie, and Cameron. This show has no idea what the hell is going on. Cameron at least had some mild connections, but I don't think he was necessary at all unless they wanted more diversity with Lexie leaving. I'm fine with that, I guess. The casting was uninspired though.

Makes sense Ali and Missy are both now following him on twitter. Doesn't shock me a bit that Days won't say anything.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
If this show NEEDS a late 30ish female, they should bring on Sarah Horton who is almost entirely a blank slate who has TIES to the canvas as Maggie's daughter. Unfortunately, despite what SORASed age she should really be (as Carrie's HS BFF & contemporary), but stating that Daniel (the father of a 20something daughter) is YOUNGER than Sarah (or, at the very least, the same age) they've needlessly aged Sarah off-screen to somewhere at least in her mid40s. Meanwhile, if an age appropriate Sarah were to come on (late 30s), you could THEN introduce a SORASed for the first time Noelle Curtis (Sarah's bio-half-sister) who would also be mid-30s.

Sometimes I swear TPTB deliberately fight against this show's ability to logically write itself.
I've been in favor of Sarah Horton, with a possible Sarah/Brady and drug addiction side story for awhile. IMO, the line about Sarah and Daniel could be easily ignored. I do think that if they quietly undo the 'John is a DiBrady' story it might be nice to revisit the John/Greta story. Maybe it could even be used to give Hope something to do.

Where are Neil and Liz?
Neil & Liz divorced after Liz left to move to California to pursue her music career (when Gloria Loring left the show). Neil pretty much disappeared from the show with no mention. Presumably, he's off wherever Don Craig is (and I'm assuming they're both keeping Stephanie Johnson company). Neil went to perform rounds at the hospital 20 years ago and was never seen again.
Speaking of Liz, weren't MarDar going to bring her back for a short stint? I thought one of Alice's secrets (Eggbaby?) was supposed to cause someone in Salem to track down Liz and ask her some questions. I even seem to recall a brief interview with GL. Did I dream that? lol. Maybe it was one of the fan scenarios bandied about here on this board. :shrug:

ETA: I did a quick search and there was a SID article back in November that quoted GL as having met with Meng to discuss a possible Liz return. I guess nothing ever came of it.

I'm excited about GV, but I'm disappointed that Eric Martsolf could get the boot. I wish DAYS would bring on another 30-something woman (such as Sarah Horton or Lucas's fiancee) with whom Brady could interact.

I wonder if DAYS plans to announce GV's hiring at the same time that they announce Eileen Davidson's return?

Days STILL needs to cast a woman in the 30s bracket, pref one not related to anyone in Salem so she won't have a problem having a romantic relationship with anyone. I would say that they should bring Lucas' fiancee back (say she called to break up with him because she found out she was pregnant with his child and she didn't want to tell him that as she didn't want him to just return 'for the baby' and not 'for her')....

I love Brady (EM's arms, torso and everything else about him including Brady's occasional angry sex escapade)....but he's had one relationship failure after another first there was Arianna, then using Nicole for sex, then now Madison...it's three failures and he's had no real story aside from the comic relief he displayed when he buried Vivian alive. I think it would be good to at least rest him a bit, and I'm wondering if this drug storyline will lead to a spiral out of control for him that lands him in rehab.


The answer for Brady's lack of love life success is Sarah Horton-Curtis. I was so annoyed Sarah Brown's character wasn't just casted as Sarah. Maggie's reaction, whether supportive to the point of loving the idea more than Sarah and Brrady or not wanting her daughter to date an addict, would've been great story. Sarah's reaction to Magic would've been nice to see.

Gloria is the one who wanted a Liz return. She lobbied for it on twitter, and I'm impressed to hear she got as far as a meeting with Meng. But it doesn't surprise me that it didn't work out.

Coming to Salem.

ABC Soaps In Depth has confirmed the rumor that former “GH” star Greg Vaughan (ex-Lucky) will be joining the cast of “Days Of Our Lives.” However, unlike earlier rumors, it appears that the actor may not be coming to Salem as Eric Brady, Sami’s (Alison Sweeney) brother.

Further details about this casting have not yet been released. Soap Opera Fan Blog will keep you informed as more information becomes available. Would you like to see more Bradys in town or do you think there are enough already?




interesting so if he isn't Eric brady who will he be?? And who will he be paired with??

Hmmm

I knew it!

Ever since AS and GV tweeted about their Hallmark movie...well, I'm been thinking that AS might want some piece of GV on DAYS. GV and AZ were screen testing...what if AS made a play for GV as another character? If he was cast as Eric, then he wouldnt be yet another man to chase Sami around and we know how much AS like Sami to be the center of attention.

So AS goes to TPTB and now we have GV in another role. It wouldnt shock me one bit because I remember that GG said that Rafe was going to be with Nicole and not Sami. See, there's a pattern here. AS jonesing men for HER character, while AZ gets shit on...again. (Well, GG is the exception...Sween can have him.)

They are hinting that he may not be Eric Brady because he is playing a "holy man," but they go on to ask whether Eric could have changed professions after his near death accident in Colorado. So I think he should still be Eric.
